Man, take away the 20 or so shit names, and this is a fucking stacked lineup. They've definitely made a huge direction change in the type of electronic dance music they book.

They had a slump during the EDM explosion, but pre-2012 Ultras had pretty great lineups. New Order, Miike Snow in their heyday, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Justice, etc.
Leaving in Vicetone, SNBRN, Sam Feldt, Kaskade, Knife Party and Fedde le Grand? It's like Old Phi never left!
Yea I figured there were going to be some small print names I'm not familiar with that should have been redacted. And I gave Knife Party and Kaskade the benefit of the doubt.

Pretty great phase two. I'm likely going to the Last Resort party on Saturday, but may get a Sunday pass for Black Coffee and deadmau5 (if it's a live set I'll pass). Hope they just play MMW parties.
Also worth nothing that Deadmau5 isn't playing the main stage, and instead the ASOT Stage on Sunday.
meaning he's probably doing a different set than the one he's been doing for a while?
He mentioned doing a bus tour in the coming weeks that would end in Miami, so this could be apart of that. He implied it was a live set, so expect a pretty similar set with some new songs thrown in.
Tycho > Caribou > Chet Faker > Miike Snow would look good on a lot of festival schedules.
That's what I was thinking. I wish I could go this year. When my wife and I went a few years back, we pretty much spent most of our time at the Live Stage, only periodically leaving to check out acts on the main stage.
Attended my first (and probably last) Ultra this weekend...
Overall impressions of the fest varied among my group of 4 (note: we all received comp passes/travel)...
Pros: - The venue...it's Miami, you're on the water, weather is perfect (some minor rain) - The "Live" Stage (most of the good sets we caught were at this stage) - The production/sound at all the stages was top notch
Cons - The venue...MUD! I don't know if this has been an issue in the past but the mud was surprisingly awful for a city fest, it didn't seem like the park had great drainage - The crowd (yes, blame me for expecting more but this was the worst festival crowd I've ever seen. The amount of kids, yes kids, 16/17/18yo spun out of their minds on research chemicals was scary. Saw probably 15-20 people go down over the weekend and need medical ASAP. Also, the amount of guys that were taking advantage of girls who were goooooooone was wild, a couple times I debated stepping in, it was appalling seeing how these women were being treated by the frat/bball jersey crowd, witnessed a couple instances bordering on sexual assault) - Food options were kind of bland - Drink prices...vodka/soda in VIP was $19 for one!
Friday Acts we saw: Sid (from Slipknot) - WTF...this was bad in every way possible, we knew no one else playing and just wanted to witness this. Tchami - Really fun set on the main stage, crowd was just starting to fill in for the night. Netsky - Delivered, kind of a small crowd at the Korea stage for this but I think it was due to the massssssssssive crowd Armin Van Buuren/Alesso were drawing on the main stage. Zhu - Favorite set of the day, played a bunch of new material and it sounded great! Maceo Plex - Small crowd, maybe less than 500 people? But everyone there was dancing their ass off and having a blast. Met a bunch of really cool people who have been going to Ultra for 10+ years.
Saturday Music ***Didn't arrive until 6pm, crazy night after the fest on Friday*** Black Coffee - Needed something steady and propulsive to get the blood flowing, this was a great choice to start! Tale of Us - Really had the crowd going, some slight sound issues at the beginning but probably the best DJ set of the weekend. Above & Beyond - Only my 2nd main stage set of the weekend and wow...sterilization needs to happen. The amount of brain cells killed during this set is at least a million, the crowd was really feeling it, in a chemical way. A&B were great as always, their sets are starting to become familiar though. The Prodigy - Hands down, best set of the weekend. Maybe the best set I've seen in 2017 so far. The amount of energy they brought to the stage was unreal. They probably had a crowd of 2-3k, which was small but I hadn't seen a crowd go off like this all weekend. Also, the first appearance of a guitar, ha!
Sunday Music Saander Van Doorn - Meh, there was nothing else going on that we wanted to see so we settled for this. Interesting set but his transitions were REALLY rough. Rezz- 2nd favorite set of the weekend, even though it was like 5pm she threw down a really dark, goth-y set, it was awesome! Malaa - Similar vibe to Tchmai, fun set, played a lot of other people's material, it seemed like he played 1/4th of Tchami's set from the night prior. Barclay Crenshaw - Surprised there were so few people at this, do people no know that it's CVS? Would've worked better as a late night or afterparty set. Jamie Jones B2B Seth Troxler - Had a great time at this show, very minimalist. Justice - The new material sounds GREAT live, the small crowd was kind of a buzzkill but it seems like outside of the main stage you never see huge crowds at any of the other stages.
